Mission statement
Compassionate Hope is a global charitable organization focused on providing hope and a future to victims and potential victims of human trafficking and religious persecution in Southeast Asia.
We serve "the least of these"-children who are vulnerable to human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
We provide loving homes in which "at risk" children's needs are met: physical, emotional, educational, vocational, social, and spiritual. Our commitment to our children is to help them receive education and training through university, Bible college, or vocational training-thus, ending the cycle of poverty in a family that too often leads to human trafficking.
Statement of faith
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, the authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful men, repentance of sin by faith in Jesus Christ results in regeneration by the Holy Spirit and that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life and fulfill their created purpose.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
We believe in the perfect spiritual oneness of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
